Comment: Day 5 as a non-smoker and only mild, quick cravings. Have done a lot of behavior modification as well. Noticed another poster commented about an odor. I am experiencing this, but only when I sweat. Dirt is a good description. I have horses so I am doing barn work every day, and at first I thought it was just from the barn work. It's not. I think it's the nicotine (maybe), toxins (?)

Comment:Day 5 as a non-smoker and only mild, quick cravings. Have done a lot of behavior modification as well. Noticed another poster commented about an odor. I am experiencing this, but only when I sweat. Dirt is a good description. I have horses so I am doing barn work every day, and at first I thought it was just from the barn work. It's not. I think it's the nicotine (maybe), toxins (?) excreting in my perspiration. At any rate, I can deal with it. I've had a bit of trouble with the patches sticking at the edges. This is my first time using the patches, and I am very excited about being a non-smoker!

Comment: It has been 8 days and I haven't had a cigarette but I found that the longer I go, the worse I am feeling. I feel nauseated and very fatigued. It is a great product, it definitely does the trick but boy does it suck to be so nauseated.

Comment: Started using the patch and, after 3 days, my ears started pounding night and day. Sounds like the bass drum in a marching band and I can't even sleep. Stopped using the patch and, 2 months later, my ears are still pounding. The Dr. said that this side-effect is now permanent and there is nothing that can be done about it.

Comment: I started using this patch 3 days ago. I smoked a pk a day, so I went by the dose guideline and started with 21mg. While it did help with the cravings, I have aquired a bad side effect. I frequently smell a dirt or soil smell, even when I am not outside. & I have no house plants. I took the patch off yesterday at 3pm,nearly 21 hrs ago and I still have not craved a smoke, which I guess is good,

Comment:I started using this patch 3 days ago. I smoked a pk a day, so I went by the dose guideline and started with 21mg. While it did help with the cravings, I have aquired a bad side effect. I frequently smell a dirt or soil smell, even when I am not outside. & I have no house plants. I took the patch off yesterday at 3pm,nearly 21 hrs ago and I still have not craved a smoke, which I guess is good, but I sure hope this side effect leaves. I almost wonder if I became nearly toxic. I used it during night too, I recommend not. Dont get me wrong, it is nice not to crave the cigarette, but smelling soil 24/7 is not pleasant either. Hide Full Comment
